It is a dozen years since I acquired my house in Marsden. Conveyancing lawyers have just been retained on the sale but I can't locate my deeds. Is this a problem?

You need not be too concerned. Firstly there is a chance that the deeds will be with your lender or they may be in the possession of the solicitor who acted in your purchase. Secondly in all probability the title will be registered at the land registry and you will be able to prove you are the registered owner by your conveyancing lawyers acquiring current official copies of the land registers. The vast majority of conveyancing in Marsden relates to registered property but in the rare situation where your property is unregistered it adds to the complexity but is not insurmountable.

Are there restrictive covenants that are commonly identified during conveyancing in Marsden?

Restrictive covenants can be picked up when reviewing land registry title as part of the legal transfer of property in Marsden.

Where there is an Undertaking being granted there is the risk of forfeiture of the Headlease subject to relief if one or more of the Underlessees are willing to accept the original Head Lessee’s obligations as otherwise relief will be denied to the Underlessees. The only alternatives are the Head Lessor agreeing not to forfeit the Headlease or the Head Lessee guaranteeing to the Underlessees that it will not be in breach of the Headlease. Will the freehold then be transferred for a nominal consideration (not exceeding £100) to the Management Company? Investor purchasers must be able to freely grant unsecured tenancies at market rents without requiring any consents. Has the Lease plan been approved by the Land Registry and if not when will they be lodged for this purpose?

Yesterday I discovered that there is a flying freehold element on a house I put an offer in two weeks back in what was supposed to be a straight forward, no chain conveyancing. Marsden is the location of the property. Can you shed any light on this issue?

Flying freeholds in Marsden are unusual but are more likely to exist in relation to terraced houses.

Your bank may require your conveyancing solicitor to take out an indemnity policy.

If so, the next door neighbour also had to sign up to the revised deeds.It is possible that your lender will not accept the situation so the sooner you find out the better. You should also check with your insurance broker as to whether they will insure a flying freehold premises.
